Document Summary

Rem sleep is important in the devolpement of brain neurons and is natures way of stimulating the brain. Esb (brain mapping) electrical stimulation of the brain. Know the lobes and what does what.

Left hemisphere deals with analytical hemisphere, creativity and deducing emotion from right hemisphere. Seems to be more common amongst mathematicians, architects, artists, musicians. Brain and spinal cord: peripheral nervous system. Skeletal nervous system it involves and controls skeletal muscles: muscles that are used for physical movement. Sympathetic: allows you to use energy quickly, fight or flight. Parasympathetic nervous system: conserve energy and counteract sympathetic, neuron. It holds the cell together and communication purposes. The neural impulse is an electrochemical reaction!
